Phone number hijacking is a real problem, especially with cell phones, and thieves use it as part of an overall identity (and retirement fund) theft approach.

For those who didn't catch it, that's a somewhat "famous" phone number.

In the 80s, there was a song by that name: "867-5309 (Jenny)" by the band Tommy Tutone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/867-5309/Jenny

Neat tip: you can use your area code + this number in almost any system that asks for a phone number (especially useful supermarket "loyalty" customer tracking systems). If they ask for a name, just tell them "Jenny".
